Notes for editor
Hunstanton is one of the busiest RNLI stations in Norfolk.
It's volunteer crew have so far launched 25 times during 2023, to shouts ranging from people cut off by the tide to kite surfers, jet skiers and fishermen in danger or in difficulty.
The station is one of just four around the UK coastline which operates a hovercraft, Hunstanton Flyer, alongside its Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat Spirit of West Norfolk.
